Who is Bizarro #1?

Few characters in DC's Silver Age carry a name as instantly iconic as Bizarro #1, who made his debut in Superman #193 in 1967, courtesy of the legendary Otto Binder and Al Plastino. Across a remarkable span stretching all the way to 2025, this imperfect, backwards-world figure has haunted the pages of Superman, Adventures of Superman, and even his very own Bizarro Comics, proving there's something enduringly compelling about this funhouse-mirror corner of the DC universe. Along the way, Bizarro #1 has shared the page with some of the brightest lights in comics — Superman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Hawkman, and The Atom — genuinely rarefied company that speaks to the character's place at the heart of DC storytelling. With a key issue already to his name and nearly six decades of publication history, Bizarro #1 is a Silver Age original well worth seeking out.
